AP declared Obama Kenyan-Born
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a “natural born citizen”, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency”, Obama himself was putting out in 2004, that he was born in Kenya.
The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.
Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans."It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan, 44, said in a statement. "What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign – the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play."
Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was "truly outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the records.
The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.
"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody."
The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan, who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its task is complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the polls and is widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.
The chairwoman of the Illinois Republican Party, Judy Topinka, said at a news conference, after Ryan withdrew, that Republicans would probably take several weeks to settle on a new candidate.
"Obviously, this is a bad week for our party and our state," she said.
As recently as Thursday, spokesmen for the Ryan campaign still insisted that Ryan would remain in the race. Ryan had defended himself saying, "There’s no breaking of any laws. There’s no breaking of any marriage laws. There’s no breaking of the Ten Commandments anywhere."

What a bunch of crap. Don't you have anything better to do than to report B.S.? And that's what it is, B.S.! People like you make me feel ill. I feel sorry for you also. Sorry that your narrow little mind cannot grasp the intricacies of life today. Get your head out of the sand and embrace change!
The AP clearly made a mistake. To ensure that this mistake was not propagated, multiple news agencies "scrubbed" their websites to eliminate the traces. Were it not for such things as cache sites, this story would just be another crazy right-wing diatribe.
Lets face it, the fact that Obama cannot prove his natural born citizenship is irrelevant. He is the president and nobody can change that.
Obviously, he has something to hide. Nobody spends millions avoiding the simple request for a $15 certificate, and especially does not go out of the way to lock that file up unless they have something to hide.

am4truth, you really should change your moniker to "Americans4conspiracies". You have the right to express your beliefs, but this opinionated-yet-trying-to-be-openminded AJ blogger finds your postings a bit on the fiction side of reality. Thanks for the entertaining read.
give it up already.
Y_S -
Are you ever going to share with us the Kenyan birth certificate you bought online for $225? You remember - the one you promised would finally prove once and for all Obama is not a US citizen?
Nobody spends millions avoiding the simple request for a $15 certificate when they can order one online.
Yosemite, have you been on a recruiting drive? Seems a number of followers have been cropping up on these pages recently.
Bootz is giving Mrex21 a run for his money. I guess its only right to balance out the hatred and vitriol on both sides of the aisle.
Y_S - How about that birf certificate?
and where are the college transcripts and admissions information that is still missing?
They are hiding them because his name is Barry Soetoro. Barrack Hussein Obama is his Muslim name. uh how american is that name?? its not!!!
i remember seeing this story on the news channel when he went to Africa saying how he was born there. but yet people dont ask questions and or dont care about it. These Obamanoids are so crazy they will bite peoples fingers off they are extremist and will not look at the complete picture. I will post a picture for you crazy people to show you how you are being misguided. Good luck
Exactly.
Makes Sense to me,
this seems to be like a great reason why they dont make it public.
Another thing is that Hitler Was also in his day to be Native born German.
turned out to be a lie. but who knows after a world war we might get the same
history.
I nominate all the above for Nobel Peace Prizes.
